I’m very excited that my new book, The Drama of Salvation, is finally out!
This is the first full-length book I’ve had come out since the best-sellingThe Fathers Know Best.
We got the advance copies a few days ago, and the full shipment will be in our warehouse next week.
It’s going to be available in both hardback and electronic format. Both are available for pre-order right now.
However, I wanted to let you know about another edition that we also have coming out.
This Enhanced Edition is available with the hardback version of the book, and it comes with two bonuses:
1) I’ll be autographing each copy, personally
2) It will come with a special study guide that I wrote, with questions to help you get the most out of the book.
See below for how to get your copy.
An Important Topic
All of us—every man, woman, and child on earth—are caught up in a drama which will have eternal consequences. In this life, all of us are suspended between heaven and hell.
To rescue us, God sent his son—Jesus Christ—to offer his life on the Cross. This supreme act of sacrifice made salvation possible for all mankind.
Yet now, two thousand years later, few people understand what Jesus did or how it affects us.
Worse yet, there are endless arguments between Christians of different persuasions, leading to confusion on a massive scale.
That’s why I wrote The Drama of Salvation.
In it, I use Scripture and Church teaching to cut through the confusion and provide clear answers on important issues like:
- What we need to do to be saved
- Whether salvation is a one-time event or a process
- Whether penance is part of God’s plan
- What indulgences are
- How faith and works relate
- What the Church teaches about justification
- How far apart Protestants and Catholics are on this question
- Whether you have to be a Catholic (or a Christian) to be saved
I’m not aware of any other book that takes on these questions and deals with them in a concise and thorough way.
What People Are Saying
I’ve been very gratified by what people who have seen The Drama of Salvation have been saying about the book. For example, well-known author and speaker Steve Ray, said:
“This is a one-stop source to learn all the perspectives distilled down to an understandable and clear-cut conclusion. Using Scripture and Sacred Tradition Akin clears the fog and explains salvation for the scholar and the novice alike. This book should be in the hands of every person concerned with their eternal destiny.”
And Fr. Ronald Tacelli, co-author of the Handbook of Catholic Apologetics, wrote:
“At the banquet table of apologetics, Jimmy Akin’s The Drama of Salvation is the finest of fine crystal. It is a serious work by a serious and supremely gifted apologist on a topic of central concern for everyone.”

“What we need to do to be saved”
Exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees.
Point?
That was it. I was just letting people who want to know what they need to do to be saved, what the need to do to be saved. It’s a pretty high standard.
